The Most Common Dirty Tricks Husbands Use During Divorce

In some states, mandated Automatic Temporary Restraining Orders(called “ATROs,” for short) prevent either party from changing the financial status quo of the marriage once a divorce action begins. But, automatic protections like this are not the law in every state, so check with your divorce attorney about the specifics of your case and what you need to do to maintain access to family funds.

By denying his wife access to financial resources, a husband can leave his wife without the money necessary to buy groceries, much less hire the right divorce team to represent her . . . all while he hires an excellent team to represent him.

This is especially problematic for abused womenwho live in constant fear of harm—to themselves and/or their children.

Hide assets

Hiding assets during a divorce is sneaky, unethical, illegal –and quite common. Be on the lookout for certain telltale signs that your husband has some dirty tricks up his sleeve. He could be stashing money in a safe deposit box (or elsewhere), underreporting income on tax returns and/or financial statements, overpaying the IRS or creditors (so he can get a refund after the divorce is settled), deferring salary, delaying new contracts and/or holding commissions or bonuses . . . the list goes on and on.

Fail to pay court-ordered support or refuse to relinquish assets

If your husband doesn’t follow court orders, he’s breaking the law, and he’s forcing you to try to extract the promised payments --at considerable legal cost. What’s more, all this financial and legal wrangling is terribly time-consuming. Some women put their jobs in jeopardy because they have to take so much time off to deal with these issues. Making matters worse still, many family courts do a poor job enforcing such orders, even when a woman follows its requirements to the letter, and unfortunately, even for a well-meaning judge, deception on the part of an ex-husband can be difficult to decipher or prove.

Divorcing women need to understand the full range of tactics some husbands use, and they need to be proactive –not reactive --as they work to secure the best possible divorce settlement. Because there are so many different dirty tricks, I recommend that women maintain their own emergency fund in a separate bank account, even if divorce has never entered their minds.

I have just found this article, trying to find a way to help my brother speed up his divorce proceedings. Frankly, I'm DISGUSTED by the fact that this article puts MEN as the only perpetrators of these tactics. My mother is a family law attorney, and I've seen more dirty tricks and tactics pulled by WOMEN than by men. Get your s*&^ together, More, and realize that women are not victimized in the court of the law. They have equal rights, and equally pull the same dirty tricks that you say that MEN do.

The fact is that most women win in divorce. I feel bad for the women out there that have gotten screwed, but I feel worse for all the Dad's and kids that are getting screwed because of all the lying, selfish, rotten wiches out there.

Life can be very displeasing especially when we loose the ones we love and cherish so much. in this kind of situation where one loses his/her soul mate there are several dangers engage in it. one may no longer be able to do the things he was doing before then success will be very scarce and happiness will be rare. that person was created to be with you for without him things may fall apart. That was my experience late last year. but thank god today i am happy with him again. all thanks goes to Dr. Awase, i was nearly loosing hope until i saw an article on how Dr. Awase could cast a love spell to make lovers come back. There is no harm in trying, i said to my self. i contacted him via email: Awaselovespell@yahoo.com. words will not be enough to appreciate what he has done for me. i have promised to share the good news as long as i live

I really wanted my ex to return to me, but I also wanted the reassurance did this actually works and I did not want to be taken advantage of. I did not have a lot of money so I wanted this to work. I wanted my ex back and I will do anything to get her back. I love her and want only her in my life. Priestess Munak went over some important details of my life, and after casting the spell, my loved Lisa called me back, and moved in with me again. We are very happy now, I would advice anyone to meet this spell lady for her spell is strong. her email is priestessmunak@gmail.com

my name is christian i visited for relationship and dating counseling problems because i had been having serious issues with my girlfriend and we had been dating for six months,she just suddenly changed,she was no longer returning my calls,she started cheating,she was hurting me in so many ways i never thought possible and I just thought I should try it maybe out of desperation of some sort ..and I contacted okuntemple@gmail.com..At first everything felt dreamy and unbelieving,their consultations and solution was a little bit easy and strange and I was scared a little cause I have read and heard lots of stories of fake spell casters,scams and i never really believed in magic..I played along with a little hope and and faith and I was sent some few stuffs after everything and it worked like a miracle,everything took a new new direction,it is so amazing…I guess it was all in good faith that made me read That particular post that faithful day..I hope they could help other people too like he did to me…I did a little and I got everything I wanted and wished for my wife,my family and my life back their address is; okuntemple@gmail.com

I'm short of words here, I don't know what to say about what Dr khakani has done for me. My lover scott left me for almost 2years, I really loved my husband scott because he was my first love, When he left me I thought the world was over. But when I came in contact with dr khakani he just told me that my lover will be back to my arms within 48hours and that he will love and respect me forever. So the most surprising thing is that my lover is now back to me and we are now together. My lover bought me a nice car and now I also have access to his bank account to show me that he will never leave me or hurt me again. Am so grateful to dr khakani. Please Dr khakani is a great man..contact him for any kind of help and he will never disappoint you. His private email khakanibestsolutioncentre12@gmail.com or cell phone +2348062216903

My Name is faith, I wish to share my testimonies with the general public about what this man called Dr Moko has just done for me , this man has just brought back my lost Ex husband to me with his great spell, i was married to this man called Steven we were together for a long time and we loved our self’s but when i was unable to give he a child for 2 years he left me and told me he can’t continue anymore then i was now looking for ways to get him back until a friend of mine told me about this man and gave his contact email (mokospellcaster@gmail.com) then you won't believe this when i contacted this man on my problems he prepared this spell cast and bring my lost husband back, and after a month i miss my month and go for a test and the result stated am pregnant am happy today am a mother of a baby girl, thank you once again the great Dr Moko for what you have done for me, if you are out there passing through this same kind of problems you can contact he today on his mail (mokospellcaster@gmail.com ) and he will also help you as well."

I was shocked to find out how unprepared the courts are to handle a lying and manipulative spouse. My ex never paid any of the court-ordered fees and there is nothing I can do outside of getting an additional civil ruling against him (at my expense). I had to learn to let go even as I paid for the man's lies and deceptions. http://lessonsfromtheendofamarriage.com
